Aircraft

Glendale Flying Club currently owns three aircraft: a Piper Warrior II PA28-161, Cessna Skylane C-182 and a Piper Lance. All aircraft are owned and maintained for the exclusive use of Glendale members. Each aircraft receives complete FAA Annual Inspections every 200 hours flight time and at least once per year as part of our commitment to maintaining safe, trouble-free aircraft. All aircraft are IFR certified with dual King NAV/COMs with glideslope and marker beacons, ADF’s and Mode C transponders. The Piper Lance has DME, Loran, and HSI. The Piper Warrior and Piper Lance both have two axis auto pilots. We are currently considering the installation of FAA approved GPS receivers in the aircraft.Back To Top

Club Policies

Glendale exists to provide for its members a convenient means of flying or learning to fly with safe and dependable aircraft at economical rates. Glendale will maintain at least one aircraft for every 15 members. A waiting list may exist to enter the club if the 15:1 pilot to aircraft ratio is exceeded or until the club can acquire an additional aircraft. Glendale would like to continue to grow to a maximum of 50 members. This will require the purchase of at least one additional new aircraft; type and style will be determined by the board of directors after surveying the membership.
